An Open Letter To My Friends At Different Colleges

To My Friends At Different Colleges:

First off, I hope you have a great year at school. Study hard, but not too hard. I hope your year is filled with fun and laughter and plenty of good times. I wish you the best of luck at every endeavor you choose to try. I hope you create wonderful memories and make more great friends. I know you will enjoy your time at your own school and have a fantastic year.

Secondly, thank you for being my friend. I am truly blessed with the friends that have been put in my life. You are wonderful and I’m so glad we are friends. We have made some awesome memories and I wouldn’t trade them for anything. Whether we have been friends for 10 years or for just one, I am extremely thankful for you. Y’all are fantastic.

I love being at college and spending time with my friends there, but when breaks come around, the excitement is always there when we get to see each other. Breaks are hard, because you’re away from school, but I know that I’ll have some good times with you when I’m home. Even if we are just hanging out or getting food, breaks are better with you. Catching up in person always beats the texts or social media interaction. Sometimes, you just need to be with the people that know where you came from.

Spending time with you is like putting on an old familiar favorite sweatshirt of mine. It’s comfortable and makes me happy. Through the sleepovers, breakfasts and late night adventures, I know I can always count on you to be there.

Staying friends with people from high school that have gone different ways isn’t always easy, but I am glad we have stuck together, even though we aren’t always together. We don’t have to see each other all the time to remain close. I am very thankful you are my friend.

I wish you the best of luck this year and hope everything works out for you. Also, just know that I am always here if you need me. Even if I’m hours away, I will do my best to help you out. Like the song in Toy Story, “you got a friend in me.”

Goodbye is always hard, that’s why this is a

See You Later,

Your Friend.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
